Thanks to [[#Meeting-prep work|meeting-prep work]] done by mchua, we moved quickly through the agenda.
=== Finances ===
We '''agreed''' to all actively seek out a replacement for our interim FD.
=== Infrastructure ===
'''Motion:''' Authorize [[User:Lfaraone|Luke Faraone]] to ship some used hardware from the Wikipedia Foundation (12 servers) to various hosting sites. The cost should not exceed US$300.
The motion passed: 6 yea; 1 absent.
'''Motion:''' Authorize Bernie to purchase a new server. The cost should not exceed US$ 3000.
We deferred action on this motion until we have more information (regarding hosting and the utility of the Wikipedia servers).
=== Trademark ===
We '''agreed''' to write some case-studies/scenarios before finalizing the TM policy (Please refer to [[Talk:Sugar_Labs/Governance/Trademark#Trademark_case_studies|case studies]]).

We did not discuss this topic.
